The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has announced their third consecutive official cash rate pause, holding steady at 4.10% for another month.

This cash rate decision marks Governor Phillip Lowe’s final, as his seven-year tenure draws to a close. Mr Lowe’s successor Michele Bullock will step into the role from 18 September 2023, becoming the first female governor of the central bank.

CoreLogic estimated that 1.3 million home loans are expected to move from low fixed rates to high variable rates in 2023 and 2024, with the peak to hit in the second half of this year. Notably, CoreLogic Head of Research Eliza Owen stated that the “official data on mortgage stress” has not depicted any great surge in arrears despite many fixed-term loans expiring.

“The good news for mortgage holders is that this period of economic slowdown will also take the RBA closer to its long-term inflation target, which could be the impetus for a reduction in the cash rate in the second half of 2024, as predicted by most major banks,” Ms Owen said.

Buy now pay later services that allow consumers to make purchases and spread the cost of items over several interest-free instalments have grown in popularity over the past few years. However, for homebuyers, there might be risks that they are not aware of.

When lenders assess your ability to borrow, they are going to take a very close look at your entire financial situation. If you've been using buy now pay later services, there might be some red flags that could hurt your application.

Here are four things to consider if you're a home buyer.

1. Debt-to-Income Ratio
Using BNPL services can increase your overall debt-to-income ratio which might make it harder to get a loan.

2. Lower credit score
BNPL services might also negatively impact your credit score, especially if you miss any payments.

3. Overspending
BNPL can make it easy to buy things, overspend and accumulate debt which can make it harder for you to save for a deposit on a property.

4. Reduced access to credit
If you have an outstanding BNPL balance, some lenders may consider this a form of debt and be less willing to lend you money for a property.
